Answer:

R = (- 3.72î + 8.29j)

Magnitude of R = 9.09 m

Explanation:

Let î and j represent unit vectors along the x and y axis respectively.

Vector A --> magnitude 8.78 m, direction 37.0° from the +x-axis

Let the x and y components of this vector be Aₓ and Aᵧ

A = (Aₓî + Aᵧj) m

The components given magnitude and direction from the +x-axis are calculated as

Aₓ = A cos θ and Aᵧ = A sin θ

Aₓ = (8.78 cos 37°) = 7.01 m

Aᵧ = (8.78 sin 37°) = 5.28 m

A = (7.01î + 5.28j) m

Vector B has magnitude 8.26 m and direction 135° from the +x-axis

B = (Bₓî + Bᵧj) m

Bₓ = (8.26 cos 135°) = - 5.84 m

Bᵧ = (8.26 sin 135°) = 5.84 m

B = (-5.84î + 5.84j) m

Vector C has magnitude 5.65 m and direction 210° from the +x-axis

C = (Cₓî + Cᵧj) m

Cₓ = (5.65 cos 210°) = - 4.89 m

Cᵧ = (5.65 sin 210°) = - 2.83 m

C = (- 4.89î - 2.83j) m

The resultant force is a vector sum of all the forces. Let the resultant force be R

R = (Rₓî + Rᵧj) m

R = A + B + C = (7.01î + 5.28j) + (-5.84î + 5.84j) + (- 4.89î - 2.83j)

Summing the î and j components seperately,

R = (- 3.72î + 8.29j) m

To get its magnitude,

Magnitude of R = √(Rₓ² + Rᵧ²) = √((-3.72)² + (8.29)²) = 9.09 m

Based on Archimedes' principle, the greatest buoyant force an object can experience in water is determined by which quantity?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

B. The object's volume

Explanation:

When an object is immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force. The magnitude of the buoyant force is given by:

B=\rho_f V_{disp} g

where

\rho_f is the density of the fluid in which the object is immersed

V_{disp} is the volume of the fluid displaced by the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

When the object is totally immersed in the fluid, V_{disp} corresponds to the volume of the object; when the object is only partially immersed, V_{disp} corresponds only to the volume of the part of the object immersed.

From the formula, we see that the greatest buoyant force is experienced by the object when it is fully immersed. Moreover, we see that the buoyant force depends only on one property of the object: its volume. Therefore, the correct choice is

B. The object's volume

What increases the work output of a machine
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

There are only two things you can do to increase the work output of a machine:


1).  Increase the work INput to the machine.


2).  Make the machine more efficient ... do things like lubricating it better to eliminate some internal friction.

What is the Force in Newtons exerted by cart with a mass of 0.75 kg and an Acceleration of 6m/s2?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<h2>4.5 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 0.75 × 6 = 4.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.5 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

A planet moves fastest in its orbit around the sun when it is at which position?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

When it's closest to the sun.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on a planet is equal to its mass times its centripetal acceleration.

Fg = m v^2 / r

The force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation as:

Fg = mMG / r^2

Therefore:

mMG / r^2 = m v^2 / r

MG / r = v^2

v increases as r decreases.  So the planet is moving fastest when it's closest to the sun, also known as the <em>perihelion</em>.

If a car travels 30 mi. north for 30 min., 60 mi. east for 1.0 hour, and 30 mi. south for 30 min., what is the average speed
Ainat [17]

Answer: 60mph

Explanation:

Given the following :

First leg travel:

Distance = 30 miles

Time of travel= 30 minutes = 0.5 hour

Second leg travel:

Distance = 60 miles

Time of travel = one hour

Average speed :

Speed = total Distance / time of travel

Total distance in miles = (30 + 60) miles = 90 miles

Total time of travel = 1 hour + 0.5 hour = 1.5 hours

Average speed = total distance traveled / total travel time

Average speed = 90 miles / 1.5 hours

Average speed = 60 miles / hour

= 60mph
